Rails Routes homepage setting throws "Controller#index is missing a template for request format-CodePudding

I have a simple Ruby on Rails repo, and I found that if I specified the homepage as index in Roues, it would throw a "" error. I can't find any spelling mistakes:

This is Route

Rails.application.routes.draw do
  resources :foos

  root "foos#index"
end

This is the part of the Controller

class FoosController < ApplicationController
  before_action :find_foo, only: [:edit, :update, :destroy]

  def index
    @foos = Foo.all
  end

My View file is app/views/index.html.erb

This is logs:

ActionController::MissingExactTemplate (FoosController#index is missing a template for request formats: text/html):

What am I missing?

CodePudding user response：

My View file is app/views/index.html.erb

This is the issue. Your view file should be present at app/views/foos/index.html.erb

Rails will automatically render a view that matches the name of the controller and action. Convention Over Configuration! Views are located in the app/views directory. So the index action will render app/views/foos/index.html.erb by default.

You can read more on this official Rails page.
